Very cool!😎😎😎

With a full work schedule I really didn't need a front wheel hub needing to be replaced on my truck. The egg crate carrier on my Elgin took care of transporting a replacement assembly, no problem! Had the truck back on the road in a couple of hours. 🤓

I missed one of my favorite rides on Saturday that I was looking forward to but had to be at a swap my friend @palepainter puts on a few times a year. Gotta focus on getting bikes into new homes this year & was too tired to try to meet up with the Grossenßart Brewing Mustache Ride after the...

I should have known that as soon as I give away some stuff to friends that I got for free & enjoying the extra space provided that it would be short lived. Met a potential customer to give a quote for his move & he has an old Pugeot PX10 minus wheels gathering dust & didn't know what to do with...

Getting some stuff together for a swap on Saturday I swapped out the seat & post on my Elgin since I want to keep the seat that was on it. Decided to try a handlebar with a bit more aggressive position.....🤓 Will have to ride it a bit to test but centers my weight between the axles with...

In anticipation of leading "Ape-ril" OBC Bluz Cruz I straightened & cleaned up a tall sissy bar to try out on JC Piggins looking for a bit more comfort. On the lowest setting it's about 3/4" higher than the highest setting of the squareback sissy.🤓 Now it's giving me flashbacks of the first...

My focus lately & foreseeable future is getting more room.🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Have given away a couple sets of tires I got in a pile of free stuff(Friends&Family membership has many privileges) and enjoying the extra room provided. Got another set to hook up a friend's other bike & looking forward to that...

Very nice Huffy made bike! It appears well cared for & will clean up even better. Congrats!😎 Stick shifter intact, no BMA/6 sticker leads me to believe '73 or earlier.....

I have some pint glasses found in a curiosity shop nearby a few years ago similar to your mugs. My affliction for good coffee would go well with these! 🤓

#lonerlife With work ramping up it was nice to have some time to clear the mind on an empty playground.🤓

I'll play along with the roadie theme....

I made it to the track as the sun broke through the clouds for a couple hours of fun. Kinda cool how the shadow from my bike made a cross on Easter. Another blessed day!✝️

I swapped in new shoes for my friend's Bike, "Rosie" since the original tires were getting pretty dry. I overhauled the bike for her a couple of years ago after her boyfriend gave it to her & it's still running like a clock in legendary Spaceliner style & grace!😉👍 I had a new set of white walls...

Thank you!

Extended lunch hour after visiting a customer out east. All alone with perfect soundtrack...

Thank you! You can really lean into corners. It's so much fun to ride.✌️

J.C. Piggins is a circa 60 Pig bike built for Rat Rod Bikes Muscle bikes build off last year from a 24" JC Higgins. It got 2nd place. Maurice is a Mongoose Beast fat bike turned chopper for the Build Off the year prior. It got 3rd place. Before After

Dig it out & take it for a spin!! I rode Maurice on Saturday but didn't take any pics. Too busy having fun! Both of these are super fun to ride & handle way better than you would think. Especially Maurice. Mr. Piggins could be better. I have a sissy bar that puts the seat about 1" higher on...

I was able to sneak in a good test ride on JC Piggins before a winter storm arrived yesterday. I found a longer seat post & moved the sissy bar to the highest position to try to get a little more comfort on the hard seat. It gave me a better pedaling position, could slide forward a bit where...

Got in a couple hours of stress relief & actually remembered to take a pic!🤓 Been forgetting lately. Too busy having fun! It was a gorgeous post card kind of day. Temps around 70° with a gentle breeze for clear skies to view all of the fresh snowpack in the mountains from a recent storm. The...

I've never really cared for green except in nature. Have never liked green bikes & never would have opened this thread a couple of years ago. Turning a Mongoose Beast into something more fun during a Rat Rod Bikes Muscle Bike Build Off to create "Maurice" helped me get over that unreasonable...

I met friends for this months Old Bikes Club Bluz Cruz yesterday for a full day of bicycling fun with Maurice. Perfect for some St. Patricks shenanigans!🍀 He had to stop & lift his leg real quick.....🤦‍♂️ ☘️🍀☘️🍀☘️🍀☘️🍀☘️🍀

Astounding!! I definitely see the labor and love put into this bike.🥰

I am going to start looking at rear suspension rocker arms with a broader perspective now.😉👍 Thanks!

I've been wanting to take Maurice for a ride since it's been a while. I dragged it out & knocked the dust off while the compressor built pressure to top of the 26"x4" back tire. (The only tire I use a compressor😉) I met a friend for a cruise in warm windy weather. Blasting wind! The upright...

We've had great weather for riding the past few days but the high winds have made it unbearable.😳 I tried to get out early before the wind cranked up yesterday to get some time on my dirt jumper after a couple of adjustments. I took my Dad with me to have some fun plus the benefit of having my...

Now I can't wait for 'Tail End Tuesday' to see the rest of this!! 😎😎

I would enjoy that Robin! Sadly, I don't leave Colorado much since getting out of the Air Force. Perhaps the plethora of pump tracks & brewers in my area could coax you into a road trip.......😂😂 Cheers! 🍻

👆👆👆 That beer is making me thirsty! I'm all about Porters & Stouts.....

I really dig your builds. At least you have an excuse for not finding complete originals being a hemisphere away!😂😂 I just get too excited to ride something to wait for the correct chain guard, fender, etc. And a significant parts pile....... Addiction ain't easy!!🤓

With great weather to begin the week I tried to keep some time open for a ride since it's shorts weather. Was too busy Monday but was able to take advantage of mid 60's yesterday with a friend and my DJ bike. Since wind picked up earlier I wanted something low & it's been a while since building...

Thanks @RidinRelics ! While I build & ride what meets my needs it's nice when someone appreciates the outcome. Thanks!😊

Such a quirky cool bike!!😎😎😎😎 Pretty rare too, from my understanding. It would be the perfect platform to go completely over the top by adding every accessory that one could find room to fit. Maybe balance out the party sub sandwich seat.😂😂😂 Such a cool find. So cool it can be seen by others...

Here's lookin' at you, kid.......

Thanks! I try to work with what I've got. Hard to find complete bikes and make do to get a good looking bike on the road until the proper parts come along. Originals are nice but diving into a pile of parts to create something unique gets my brain going. Need to finally get a welder & figure out...

We had a tribute ride on the OBC Bluz Cruz yesterday for Gray Beard John on the 6th anniversary of his passing. I forgot to count how many attended but had fun seeing people that haven't been around in a while. I was on my GBJ built '41 Lincoln badged DX and had a great day of remembrance & fun...

I was able to meet a friend for more fun at the track to end the day. Felt kinda sluggish as usual when I haven't been riding often. Great stress relief!🤓 Sorry I didn't take any pics so this will have to suffice.🤷‍♂️ Was too busy catching up with with my friend since it's been a while since...

Between occasional winter weather & being super busy at work it's been a while for a much needed ride. Got the chance to take my Redline out for Valentines day & had the track to ourselves for a couple of hours. It was a good day.🤓

That would be fun! Always wanted to make it up there some day. The tires look great! Just enough color to go with perfectly crusty bike but not overwhelming. 👌

I guess I need to get my hands on one of these before they all end up in Michigan. Rocket #6 is drop dead gorgeous!!😍🤩🥰 That frame is a work of art.🤯 Keep up the nice work!! *even with whitewalls....🤓(personal problem I'm trying to get over. no disrespect or judgement)

Front end of 3 bikes I found in a dumpster years ago. They belonged to Brothers. The oldest was making room for a remodel to accommodate their Dad. He still remembered the combination for the lock on his 3 speed!!

I had time yesterday afternoon to capitalize on great weather with time on the Redline in Superior. This bike excels here!! So fast.... Before I swapped a couple parts for building up for pump track use I came up with a significant parts list of upgrades if all went well. The smallish front...

I took an extended lunch break to get some more time on the Redline out in Firestone yesterday. Was having a blast getting used to a new bike & decided to really push it for a couple laps before a cool off. I had good speed coming out of a 90° rh berm and stomped it though the next fast section...

With a great stretch of weather the next few days, yesterday was the first chance to give my new Redline a good flogging to get better acquainted.🤓 I found the "pocket" & the thing is Fast!!😯So fast in fact, this track has 2 180° high speed berms with a set of doubles before entering. I...

I rode my Shelby with squishy fork for years. Then decided one day to try to adjust it. Took quite a bit of tightening but firmed up nicely! Will try to drag out the spare kit I purchased soon & post some pics & get a few measurements.

There was a guy named Rob that used to roll with us on the Bluz Cruz that did extensive research to find spring, bolt, nut, etc. & sold them in kits. The springs are a firmer than original & work great for today's adult humans. I have one tucked away from years ago. Haven't seen or heard of Rob...

Bluetooth..........🤷‍♂️ Time for this design platform to make a comeback!🤪
